The Game of School did not strike me as a real surprise. Even I participated in this sort of game sometimes; for example, the math that none of us are ever going to use again. I believe that the Game of School wouldn't exist if our school system was fashioned more like Europe's, in which people go to high school for something they will major in. I doubt that students would go to school like it was a game if they knew that everything they were going to learn would be applied to real life. So many students complain about not needing anything they ever learn in high school; such as the meaning of Mice and Men and how to derive a calculus formula. The only class I truly put forth my all into was my world language class, because that was not only something I excelled in, but something that I could apply in real life. As stated in the article, the Game of School is something that brings down the school systems, but it is something not easily changed. It is inbred into our culture; movies and TV shows prod our behavior and encourage the Game of School. To be honest, I'm not sure why nearly every American kid is involved with this game when other Europeans go on strikes to have a better education.
